[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Guest"]it [iost_uid0]was[/iost_uid0] briefly a kingdom following its establishment at the end of WWI, under King Zog, IIRC.[/quoteost_uid0]

King Zog? Is that some kind of a joke?

[quoteost_uid0]Not as aggravating as Polish, though. Gdansk. Przemysl. Swietokrzyski. Kleszczele? What the hell? That's 4 consonents in a row!
[/quoteost_uid0]

And you've forgotten Stracyznski. That's 5 consonants in a row! Ooh I can spell Stracyznski. Woot! Go me!

We've got pretty weird names here in Singapore as well. Changi, which is pronounced "chag-nee". Although Gaelic wins hands down for the [iost_uid0]weirdest[/iost_uid0] transliterations ever.[/colorost_uid0]
